potential of getting involved in here too there's growing concern that turkey will call for a nato operation and the concern here is that this could ultimately save the footprints for foreign intervention which is something that many in the international community and certainly many of the ground are very cautious of or doubt is for policy there with the latest on this breaking news here on out to thank you. ryan is keeping up its crackdown on program form protests causing more fierce clashes between. demonstrators on friday and water cannons were used to disperse the crowds the violence started off with the funerals where young protester who died in custody. demanding equal rights from the sunni one of the release of political prisoners one of the prominent human rights to find a job has gone on hunger strike he was briefly released to attend to some mother's funeral but was not allowed to mourn with his family for a job is serving a three year jail term for participating in illegal gatherings meanwhile former

c.n.n. reporter believes documentary on what's really happening in bahrain was censored by the. rain is paying c.n.n. to create content that shows bahrain in a favorable light even though c.n.n. says this content you know is editorially independent it doesn't see the effect that what we've seen that with this documentary not airing and also with the constant struggle i had at c.n.n. to get coverage accurate bahrain coverage of the human rights abuses on air while i was there what c.n.n. is doing is they're essentially creating what some people have termed infomercials for dictators and that's the sponsored content that they're airing on c.n.n. international that's actually being paid for by regimes and governments and this violates every principle of journalistic ethics because we're supposed to be watchdogs on these governments we're not supposed to allow them to be paying

customers who are able to kind of dodge our minders and sneak into some of the villages and actually see these atrocities patients who run out of the hospitals that were shot up with birdshot and as we were heading back out of these villages we were violently detained by security forces in bahrain and luckily my female producer and i were able to hide some disks in our broads and we were able to actually get out of the country with this content so you can imagine surprise when we got back to the u.s. and this content was air. on c.n.n. and right after that is when the phone calls started coming in to the network complaining about me and trying to get my coverage off the air. violence and unrest has returned to tunis as well this time it's a clash over trash at least thirteen thousand angry residents hit the streets and set cars ablaze over the reopening of a rubbish dump those details that are to dot com. that washington becomes the latest american city to display and. i mean look at whether it may actually be

provoking even more hatred towards the muslim world much much more on our website. and see austerity anger is mounting in europe civil servants take to the streets for a second day in madrid trade unions have gathered thousands to demand an end to cutbacks in the public sector and the privatization of public services it really is a sort of see this fair share of action this week led by the country students who clashed with police thousands marched in major cities calling for the government to save schools and not banks and roam up to six policemen were injured students told stones at them and tried to rush a police van all of this while in venice independence supporters marched on saturday to demand the region and go it alone investment advisor patrick young says the e.u. is heading towards collapse. the european union constantly believes it knows what's best for all of its client states therefore it pushed countries like ireland should

be allowed in order to basically appease french and german borrowers there are absolutely no positive results from what the e.u. has done over the course of the last five or ten years indeed basically the history of the euro is not a horribly saw an exercise in effectively breaching the people and trying to destroy economies the european union several fundamental problems ultimately it is a very rich area with a great deal of resources. the difficulty is it's very difficult to start a business it's very difficult to run a business if you're successful in business they're going to tax you to death and in the meantime they're all running absolutely ridiculous communist era sized socialist states the truth is western europe is bankrupt it cannot afford the howard government be the major economic actor in the system and therefore just as we saw russian communism collapsed so too we are seeing the death of western european socialism. and u.k.

prime minister david cameron has warned he would veto the e.u.'s new budget if necessary he suggested the e.u. should have two separate budgets one for the countries which use the euro and one for those who don't later on our economic historian robert skidelsky tells us that london is used to blaming others for its economic troubles. the sad fact is that the british economy has been shrinking slowly almost for a year now rather like a very slowly leaking balloon and the government of been trying in one or two small waves to give it a bit of a stimulus one thing is that they're blaming everyone but themselves per school it was it was the euro crisis then it was the high high commodity rise in commodity prices and so they claim that the policy of a stereotype should bring about the recovery but that it's derailed by these

unfortunate external shocks but the policy of a sterrett is basically wrong when there is a lack of private sector demand when banks aren't lending when businesses don't want to borrow when people are cutting down their spending because they want to reduce their debt when the government then adds to that sort of downward pressure on spending then it's no surprise that the economy isn't growing. you can watch the full interview with economic historian robert skidelsky in about twenty minutes from now right here on our city well also for you this hour and see us motorcade the traffic at a military convoy entering pakistan's militant a hotbed to stage a protest over the use of deadly drone strikes in the country. and celebrations in georgia as the ruling party loses the parliamentary election explain what led to

president saakashvili defeat. by these stories and so much more after a short break certainly hope you can stay with us here on alt. no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes being black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the burgen archipelago don't make a pretty picture the guiding principle here is the worst the better that can do nine hundred eighty bearings work was a burgeoning mining community. and was determined to maintain at all costs. half way between north america and western europe bergen archipelago is part of norway but

a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the us is ours western most outpost now it's one of the last preserved relics. picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was from any financial support for two decades curious for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian travellers the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards. for it's not very popular with tourists. should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of. the time the change even for the better is not always good for business something

that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add morning russian songs to the repertoire. called all they wanted to hear it was a song. good to have you with us here on our to today i'm rory sushi and this is the weekly of the pakistani military has blocked an anti us motorcade route which was heading towards the country's tribal along the afghan border a protest which began saturday is being led by a cricket legend tun politician imran khan and has attracted thousands of people

can say is that a large number of civilians have died in the u.s. drone strikes and is calling for an end to the killings of demonstrators plan to reach south waziristan an area plagued by insurgency and most frequently targeted by missiles but they were turned back they were ignoring reports that the convoy could be targeted by the taliban's suicide bombers but political activists to all of the believe the rally has the full support of the public. the lords the grand jury go out of that region has welcomed him there it would be only an assistance that is being provided by the government of pakistan which does not want or in this area of new exposure because for the past five years they have been hiding the fact that zones have been attacking this region on the on the public front they actually deny it but on privately behind the doors that may be less government they actually accept the fact just a simple attack on us the vanity and unfortunately for the past five years our government has actually blocked include the american war on terrorism american what

has now become and these should catch on all of these terrorists that are doing it but unfortunately not able they're not able to handle the economic affairs of the country let alone this terrorism issue that has been be fall in our country entirely. georgia's opposition is celebrating a surprise victory in the country's parliamentary election on monday the georgian dream secured more than half of the votes despite the high poll ratings of the ruling party backed by president mikhail saakashvili. explains what brought defeat for the president and his allies. it was a jubilation like never before seen in billy c. it felt like georgia had won the world cup. their win was not yet been found but thousands took to the streets to celebrate supporters of it it was this in particular that in central square police see straight out of the exit poll results suggest that their proxy could be victorious in the parliamentary elections something hardly any one of them would have expected only twelve months ago last

year the ruling party's rating was at seventy percent and nobody could challenge that so confident was saakashvili that he amended the constitution granting more powers to the prime minister a position many predicted he would eventually feel himself little did he know he was digging his own hole when he made this changes to the constitution does it count as a dream that i never see the parliament these are the majority of this party but that's a little less however this situation did not come out of nowhere prison torture tapes released in september really the hardest thousands took to the streets as allegations emerged that he personally ordered the torture and filming of these atrocities and now the president could even lose his job with the possible next prime minister busy even already making his attention clear comes along with this man's ideology has established a climate of lines of violence and torture it would be good if he submitted his

resignation rather than are starting various procedures to force him to resign saakashvili did concede defeat live on air but the question remains whether he's really ready to lead. the rain could be a dramatic change or it could be the herald of a period of infighting talk which was admission of defeat in a sense perhaps shows that he's a wounded animal but the would be still a fear that he would use the prerogatives of the president to try to split your position remember it's a role the disparate group of people who have been primarily united by realty to saakashvili it wasn't only the prison tape scandal which brought saakashvili fortress of power down say experts corruption among elites daunting poverty in playing hardball with all contributed the new really party says it will address these issues in the first place and as the party continues in georgia is bracing itself for a new era and the first peaceful transition of power in its both soviet history.

made things worse. the sad fact is that the british economy has been shrinking slowly almost for a year now rather like a very slowly leaking balloon and the government of been trying in one or two small ways to give it a bit of a stimulus but i think they're quite new initiatives and it's too early to say how much effect they'll have but in general i don't think they will have very much effect and so i don't think at the moment they're doing anything very much to help because there's an awful lot of talk about prioritizing the economy and it's the main thing that we have to work on at the same time you say that not very much is being done at all one thing is that they're blaming everyone but themselves first of all it was it was the euro crisis then it was the high high commodity rise in commodity prices and so they claim that the policy of

a sterile should bring about the recovery but that it's been derailed by these unfortunate acts shocks but the policy of a sterile. is basically wrong when there is a lack of private sector demand when banks are lending when businesses don't want to borrow when people are cutting down their spending because they want to reduce their debt when the government then adds to that sort of downward pressure on spending then it's no surprise that the economy isn't growing is does that. comes from an inherent misunderstanding of how economies actually work on the government's part so i do think it comes from a misunderstanding of how economies work you see i think the coalition came into office with a belief which was often expressed by george osborne that as soon as a sterile was seen to be working as soon as the government committed its.
